Bio-guided fractionation of an extract from Tanacetum parthenium showing activity as mitotic blocker allowed the isolation and identification of santin 3, jaceidin 2 and centaureidin 1. The latter two closely related flavonols, which, to the best of our knowledge, are isolated here together for the
1. The in vitro effects of centaureidin and 5,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-7-carbomethoxyflavonol (Fig. 1), two anti-inflammatory flavonoids extracted from Tanacetum microphyllum DC., have been examined on both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase activity. 2. These flavonoids produced an inhibition of
The CH2Cl2 extract of Tanacetum microphyllum aerial parts exhibited anti-inflammatory activity and yielded two anti-inflammatory flavonoids: 5,7,3'-trihydroxy-3,6,4'-trimethoxyflavone (centaureidin) [1], and 5,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-7-carbomethoxyflavonol [2]. This is the first report of the
In our ongoing research into anti-inflammatory compounds from Tanacetum microphyllum, four naturally occurring flavonoids (santin, ermanin, centaureidin and 5,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-7-methoxycarbonylflavonol) and one sesquiterpene lactone (hydroxyachillin) isolated from this plant, were evaluated
In the present study, the effects of compounds extracted from Tanacetum microphyllum, four flavonoids and one sesquiterpene lactone, on arachidonic acid metabolism in cellular systems were examined. In the PGE2- and LTC4-release assay, most compounds did not exhibit any significant effect. Only
Plant flavonoids show anti-inflammatory activity both in vitro and in vivo. Some flavonoids have been reported previously to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by suppressing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. The present
Tanacetum chiliophyllum (Fisch. & Mey.) var. oligocephalum (D.C.) Sosn. collected in Turkey was subjected to phytochemical and biological evaluations in this study. Pure compounds were obtained from ethyl acetate extracts of the stems of the plant material. Structures of isolated compounds were
